Downloading and Installing Apps from websites on Endless OS

Is there any way to download application files directly from websites and then use them to create apps on my Endless OS? I ask mainly because the app store has very limited applications and there are many that I require that can only be downloaded from their website but as far as I know, there is no way to do this on Endless OS.

What apps are you trying to install?

Hi!

in most cases is only possible to install apps that are based on Flatpak.

What’s Flatpak?
Can I install and add new software or apps?

LTSpice, MatLab, Proteus, Keil uVision, MS Visual Studios, CPUZ and some more

The Endless OS is only compatible with Flatpak Applications.

You can install using the toolbox command. The Toolbox is a tool that offers a familiar RPM based environment for developing and debugging software that runs fully unprivileged using Podman. I recommend reading the toolbox command documentation using the command toolbox --help or toolbox/doc at main · debarshiray/toolbox · GitHub

Create a new toolbox container using the command:

toolbox create

To run the toolbox use the command:

toolbox enter

The Visual Studio is available on the App Center
